STAFF REPORT

Jordan Todman enjoyed the busiest day of his young NFL career in Jacksonville's second victory of the season. The Dartmouth native carried the ball 11 times from scrimmage, gaining 31 yards with a pair of 7-yard carries as the Jaguars beat the Texans, 13-6, at Reliant Stadium in Houston. He also returned a kickoff 27 yards.

The running back tweeted after the game: "No matter what after a win your body never hurts that bad. #duval#jagsnation #508crib#wolfpack"

Todman's contributions lightened the load for Maurice Jones-Drew, who found more room for big plays (14-84-TD) and helped the Jaguars improve on their league-low 61.7-yard rushing average with 118 yards on the ground.

Todman's 7-yard rush up the middle on second-and-11 from the Houston 21 got the ball to the 14, and Josh Scobee kicked a 30-yard field goal to extend Jacksonville's lead to 10-0 early in the second quarter. Todman's 2-yard carry on third-and-long in the fourth quarter got the ball to the 35, and Scobee's 53-yard field goal made it a 7-point game.
